Can you always remain happy ?

The truth is you cannot always remain happy.

It’s not how it works. You cannot laugh every day, cannot share a happy moment every day and some days you cannot even crack a smile.

Sometimes life just sucks.

But its okay, because brighter days will come.

Without the hurt, without the sadness and emotion, without the tears and the fears and crying and the pain, the lighter side of things wouldn’t be as bright.

Love can only be as strong because we know how sad it is to be alone.

Life can only be as beautiful because we know that it will end.

And happiness can only be as grand as it is because we know what it is like to cry ourselves to sleep.

With that being said I want you to consider something:

If you were always happy, you would loose the depth of it.

You would not cry, but you would not laugh as brightly as you do.

Is that worth it?

Because if it is, then by all means, be happy every day.

Do what makes you happy and ignore the consequences.

Invest every fiber of your being in what makes you grow and smile and completely drop the downsides.

Be like a child; innocent, ignorant, uncaring but blissful.

Act without a second though, laugh without a doubt and move into your life without fear.

If you do that every day you will stay happy almost every single day.

But, if it isn’t worth it, then instead of brushing over those days you’re not happy, instead of hiding from those negative emotions, you let them in.

You let them in and you feel them and you know that it will be okay.

You cry your heart out so that you can emerge happier on the other side.

Pain is nothing bad. It is a part of life.

It doesn’t need to consume you.

Embrace it, do not hide from it and your happiness will grow.

And when it does you jump on it. You carry it as far as it can go.

You fully invest in your happiness and ride that wave as far as you can.

You won’t be happy all the time, but you sure as hell will be happy overall.
